Take Taobao to fight against Japan

However, the Japanese army is very sad. Due to the limitation of national strength, steel, rubber, and oil all need to be imported, and the quota of the three armed forces of steel is given priority to the navy, and finally the army.

Due to the serious inclination of resources to the navy, the Japanese army does not have European and American automated weapons and armored forces.

For example, tanks, the king of land warfare, and Japanese tanks are vulnerable to Europe and the United States. They are thin-skinned and weak in firepower.

It was not until the end of World War II that Japan was bewitched by the torrent of steel from the United States and the Soviet Union before it began to actually develop more advanced tanks, but it was too late!

In the final analysis, this is determined by Japan's national conditions. As an island country, Japan values ​​the development of the navy the most, and gives priority to the navy in everything!

Since Japan can even manufacture high-tech weapons such as aircraft carriers, and it is still good, not to mention tanks, it does not mean that the Japanese army is not good, but that Japan attaches too much importance to the navy!

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that if Ishihara Wanji's concept and strategy were really implemented, what kind of ending World War II would be like is really unknown!

"I see, I will seriously consider it! Ishihara-san, you have just returned home from a tiring journey, go home and take a good rest for two days!"

Hearing this, Hirohito seemed even more displeased. What he said was completely equivalent to rejecting so many years of painstaking efforts and basic national policies!

The battle between the navy and the army has a long history in Japan, and Hirohito has long been highly resistant to it. Naturally, it is impossible to change the basic national policy just because of Ishihara Waner's one or two words.

What's more, the Japanese navy has now turned into a steel behemoth, and has long formed a powerful combination of interests. Even the emperor of Japan can't stop this momentum!

"His Majesty, please consider carefully! Ishihara will retire!"

In fact, Ishihara Waner still has a lot of things to say, and he really wants to strike while the iron is hot to gain the real power he wants to fulfill his ambitions, but seeing Hirohito's extremely unhappy expression, he can only swallow these words in his stomach!

When Ishihara left the stage with a smile, Hirohito called out Tada Jundao who was listening next door: "Tada-san, tell me what you think about this?"

"Hay!"

Tada Jun bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is an old saying in China that good medicine is good for the disease, and honest words are good for deeds. Although Ishihara-san's words are sharp, they are really far-sighted!

Especially the current Japanese Army has encountered an extremely difficult opponent. If we cannot completely cut it off as soon as possible, we must further strengthen the development of the Army! "

Although what Ishihara Waner said just now is a rehash of old things, Tada heard it a long time ago, and once dismissed it, but now it is different from the past, now it sounds like Tada thinks it is very reasonable!

"Okay, I get it! You go down too!"

Hirohito shook his head secretly in disappointment. Although he knew it would be more practical to do so, he had no choice but to do so, so even if he was deceiving his ears, he hoped to hear Hayao Tada agree with the strategy of "going south"!

Chapter 305 Breaking Through the Threshold

On January 1938, 1, the People's Bank of Gaomi was officially established!

Yang Fan led a group of military, political and business leaders to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and made a solemn announcement and speech in public!

Establishing a banking system to control financial order is no small project, but Yang Fan has been planning this matter for a long time, and with a lot of resources in his hand, he is fully prepared in all aspects!

First of all, Yang Fan has established the Gaomi Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, which is responsible for the production and construction of plastic banknotes and coins!

In terms of currency, all plastic banknotes will be uniformly used at present. As for Shandong Minsheng Bank’s treasury notes, corner notes, national government legal tender, and even US dollars, British pounds, Japanese yen and other currencies will be prohibited from circulation, and metal currencies such as silver dollars and copper dollars will be exchanged within a limited time!

There are 1 denominations of plastic banknotes: 5 cent, 1 cents, 5 cent, 1 cents, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 50 yuan, 100 yuan and 10 yuan!

The production cost of plastic banknotes is twice that of banknotes, but the service life is at least 4 times that of banknotes, and it also has the characteristics of strong material, no fiber, no pores, no moisture absorption, small deformation, high temperature resistance, etc. Contaminated with bacteria, non-adhesive, easy to decontaminate and disinfect, easy to recycle and other advantages.

In this way, the plastic banknotes are not only beneficial to the use of automatic teller machines, but also can reduce the amount of new banknotes, reduce the cost of recycling old banknotes, and have good comprehensive economic benefits.It is also known as "green banknote" because it is recyclable.

In addition, the Gaomi People's Bank Head Office, as well as Jiaoxian Branch, Zhucheng Branch, and Anqiu Branch have been established so far, and Rizhao Branch, Juxian Branch, Yishui Branch, and several sub-branches, savings offices and other institutions will be established soon!

The current main functions of the Gaomi banking system are deposits, loans, and financial settlements. All civil servants and military salaries will be transferred to their respective salary cards!

After that, Yang Fan will gradually introduce the use of ATMs, credit card consumption systems, etc. to facilitate currency circulation, thereby stimulating consumption and driving production.

Yang Fan has also spent a lot of money on security. Not only the main buildings of the head office, branches, and sub-branches will be built with the highest standards, but also a special armed escort company has been established!

As for the relevant rules and regulations, Yang Fan directly purchased a whole set of bank management information from Taobao Mall, and handed it over to the old man to organize manpower for revision, and a written document has already been formed!

After nearly a year of preparation, whether it is hardware facilities, management system establishment, personnel training, etc., it is already very mature!

"Dad, I will have to work hard on you in the future!"

After the ribbon-cutting and the cutscene, Yang Fan said to his father-in-law Wu Rongbang earnestly:

"I won't emphasize the importance of the banking system. If you encounter any problems or difficulties, please let me know as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry! With me watching, nothing will go wrong!"

Wu Rongbang nodded confidently. Although his old business is not in finance, but with the detailed information given by Yang Fan, coupled with a strong material foundation and force guarantee, he really doesn't know what else to worry about!

"Old man, don't talk too much. If something goes wrong, where do you put your old face? Anyway, be careful when sailing for thousands of years, and you must take good care of your money bag for Xiaofan. This can involve more than a hundred thousand yuan. The livelihood of the army and millions of people!"

Mother-in-law Gao Qinzhen was also grinning from ear to ear,?Rather than reminding Lao Wu to be loyal to his duties, it is better to say that Wang Po is selling melons and boasting!

These days, Gao Qinzhen has been followed by a group of officials' wives and aunts all day long, and even her cousin Gao Yizhen, who used to be aloof, put down her figure to show her favor!

Everyone has vanity, and Gao Qinzhen is no exception. Although she knows that behind this is nothing more than wanting to have a relationship, she still can't help being beautiful, making her walk with wind!

"Then you still need to say it?"

Wu Rongbang rolled his eyes, not knowing what Gao Qinzhen was talking about!

At the same time, Rizhao County, Ju County and Yishui County are also in full swing for construction. Gaomi Construction Company has deployed a construction team of more than 8000 people and a large number of machines for this purpose. The lineup is extremely large and luxurious!

The people in these three counties cried with joy when they learned that the Huben Army would move in, and that their hometown would be built into a prosperous, prosperous and civilized city like Gaomi, Jiaoxian and other counties.

Even the officials of these two counties rushed to Gaomi County to ask for connections and go through the back door, wishing they could immediately become civil servants under Yang Fan's rule!

When Gaomi Construction Company entered Rizhao County, Ju County, and Yishui County one after another and began to recruit temporary workers, the local people rushed to sign up, and the crowd broke through the threshold for a while!

Even after the recruitment was full, many people expressed that they could work together without wages. They just wanted to complete the project quickly and officially bring them under Yang Fan's rule!

In this way, the progress of fortifications and urban construction is jaw-droppingly fast, comparable to the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the early days of reform and opening up in later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a day!

Yun Qichang's 5th Division is busy recruiting new recruits to expand its team, while Gu Liangmin's 6th Division has just completed a refit and is adapting to new equipment, learning military management regulations and team training!

In addition, all departments of the military are carrying out various recent key tasks in an intense and orderly manner, and everything is developing rapidly according to Yang Fan's planning and design.

Pingdu, the Japanese Second Army Command!

"Huaxia Pig is expanding the defense area and building a large number of permanent fortifications? Baga! Are we just here to watch?"

After reading the latest information, Hisao Nishio felt a great shame. This simply did not pay attention to the tens of thousands of Japanese troops entrenched in Jimo, Pingdu, Changyi, and Weixian and the Japanese Second Fleet cruising offshore. !

Suzuki, chief of staff of the Second Army, led a wry smile and said: "At present, we really have no good way to deal with him, the Imperial Navy Aviation Corps suffered heavy losses some time ago!

Now the enemy not only has anti-aircraft radars and anti-aircraft guns, but also has a powerful fighter group, and the Imperial Aviation Corps dare not take the initiative to attack!

Now the base camp has not issued a new combat order, we can only wait patiently! "

"Baga! When did the Imperial Japanese Army suffer such a humiliation!"

Hisao Nishio cursed extremely aggrieved, he is not a fool, how could he not be able to distinguish these basic situations, but the anger and anger in his heart could not be suppressed!

"Your Excellency, please calm down!"

Suzuki Sudao said with a hint of insidiousness in his eyes:

"We really can't just wait, there are still a large number of KMT and Communist anti-Japanese armed forces in Penglai, Huangxian, Fushan, Changshan, Qidong and other areas, which have seriously affected the security in the rear!

So I suggest, why not take advantage of this gap and kill all these damn Chinese rats!This is also sweeping away the confidant's troubles for the Great Japanese Empire, isn't it? "

Chapter 306

"Yosie! We really need a few victories to boost morale!"

Hisao Nishio nodded. Although he assisted Rikuto Nojima to successfully complete a special sneak attack at the last moment, it was not enough to offset the shame of repeated defeats!

So instead of letting the troops boost their morale, it's better to say that Hisao Nishio wants to regain some face!

"Hayi, what Your Excellency Commander said is true!"

Suzuki led the way and nodded, and then changed the subject and said with great anticipation: "This time the headquarters has recalled Ishihara-san to Tokyo, and perhaps our Japanese Army will turn a new page!"

"Shouga! I hope so. Although the Imperial Army is already very strong, it is far from enough to completely conquer China!"

Hiso Nishio sighed lightly, there is no harm without comparison, before he met Yang Fan, he had always felt very good, and he felt that the Japanese army would be able to crush all the way with the current strength of the Japanese army!

However, the bloody battles of the past few days woke up Nishio Shouzo all of a sudden, and only then did he realize what is called a mountain and a mountain is high, and what is truly well-equipped!

January 1938, 1, Shandong, Rizhao County!

Gu Liangmin stood on a high ground by the sea in Rizhao County, looked at the surrounding construction sites in full swing, and looked at the three forts that had been built, and said with great emotion:

"It's only now that I fully understand why the Huaxia Huben Army can not only withstand the siege of the Japanese Army's two Class A divisions, but also cause heavy casualties to the Japanese Army!"

Deputy teacher Shi Ran nodded and sighed:

"Yeah, I never dreamed that in just one week, not only has there been tremendous changes in Rizhao County, but also such a complete and powerful coastal defense line has been established, the speed and efficiency are incredible!

If it's someone else, I'm afraid it won't be a year or so, so don't even think about having the current scale! "

Tao Qinghai raised his brows and said, "Yes, these three large forts not only have reinforced concrete more than ten meters thick, but also have extremely complete configurations of light and heavy firepower. These three forts alone are enough to block the coastline tens of kilometers long. Strictly!"

Ning Chunxiao, brigade commander of the 6th Brigade of the 15th Division of the Huaxia Huben Group Army, nodded and sighed: "Yes, I really don't know where the chief can buy so many coastal defense artillery!

That big guy alone makes people shudder, obediently, with a shell of more than 1000 kilograms, I am afraid that one shot will overturn a devil's warship, right?It's too scary! "

Terrible financial and material resources, strong construction capabilities, and the spirit of the military and civilians united to fight against the sky and the earth made Gu Liangmin and others deeply moved, especially the 406mm super coastal defense artillery, which shocked them extremely!

Li Zhanbiao, the commander of the 16th brigade, said with a smile: "What do you need to say? Otherwise, the fleet of the little devils will be so honest? They dare not approach our coastline at all. With a range of more than 30 kilometers, it will not kill you if you get hit by a single shot." Disabled!"

Yang Fan has no way to develop the navy to fight against Japan now, so he can only build defensive towers to vigorously strengthen the coastal defense fortifications, and spend a lot of money to purchase heavy coastal artillery!

现如今日照到胶县的海岸线上，406毫米超级岸防巨炮虽只有2门，但是155-305毫米的重炮却有30门，足以将100多公里的海岸线固若金汤！

A battleship with strong armor and giant artillery can run wild on the sea, but it will be short of breath when it sees coastal defense artillery.

One coastal defense gun is enough to withstand three naval guns of the same caliber, and even the old guns of the grandparents can beat the battleship to the ground.

Because the coastal artillery occupies a geographical advantage and is backed by the mother earth, the fort can be repaired extremely firmly without any tonnage restrictions, and it can pour high-grade concrete armor more than ten meters thick!

A steel plate tens of centimeters thick is sandwiched in the middle, and no shells can break through it, even ordinary atomic bombs are powerless.

Coastal defense guns have excellent shooting stability, unlike naval guns that fire while swaying from side to side, the accuracy is much higher.

The position of the coastal defense artillery is good to occupy the best view and angle on the battlefield. It can overlook the overall situation from a high position, and it can also use the reverse slope to prevent the enemy from attacking.

Coastal defense artillery can also calibrate the area in advance, calculate the elements, and fire quickly and accurately.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the warship encounters coastal defense artillery, it can hide as long as it can, and try not to provoke it.If there is a daring person, there is basically no good end.

"Haha, the chief has provided us with such good conditions and treatment. We must train the army to defend the defense zone. If the little devils don't come, it's fine. If they dare to come, they will beat them all over the place!"

Gu Liangmin waved his hand full of pride, very grateful that he came to join Yang Fan. With such a strong backer, he can protect his family and country with peace of mind without any worries!

At this time, the 20th Division of the Japanese North China Front Army had arrived in Jinan, and began to move south to attack several small counties where the third group was stationed!

日军在本土以常设师团留守部队组建了第15、17师团及新建第21、22、23师团整整5个师团，正在集结准备运送到山东和江苏参与正在进行的徐州会战！

In addition, the 5th Division and the 10th Division assembled in Jimo, Pingdu, Weixian and other places gradually regained their vitality after supplementary training of soldiers, and began to attack the Kuomintang and Communist Party in Penglai, Huangxian, Fushan, Changshan, Qidong and other areas. The anti-Japanese armed forces in the enemy's rear wiped out!

For a time, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the entire Shandong and Jiangsu regions became extremely severe. The Japanese army continued to gather a large number of superior forces, and the vigorous Xuzhou battle was about to enter its climax!

On February 2, the 1th Division of the Japanese Army?Stationed in Jining County, the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army marched south to Zou County.

2月2日，日军第20师团对金乡、鱼台两县同时发动进攻，第三集团军总司令孙桐萱命令第20师和第74师就地敌抗击。

The 20th Division and the 74th Division fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for three days, inflicting a large number of casualties on the Japanese army and annihilating more than [-] people. However, due to heavy casualties, they had to withdraw from Jinxiang and Yutai counties.

On February 2, the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army entered Zouxian County, which put tremendous pressure on Tengxian, Taierzhuang, and even Xuzhou in the fifth theater defense area.

Fuji County was originally Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army defense area, but because the Japanese Central China Front Army went north from Nantong along the direction of Rugao, Dongtai, and Yancheng, the 59th Army was transferred to Lianyun, Donghai, and Xin'an Town for defense.

Teng County was taken over by Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army, the first column of the Sichuan Army, and was responsible for the defense of the Teng County area.

The Sichuan Army was a legendary force in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Since the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance in September 1937, more than 9 Sichuan troops have been reorganized to fight in Sichuan.

Sichuan also conscripted nearly 260 million strong men to join the war. Including soldiers who served in other ways, Sichuan sent nearly 350 million soldiers during the War of Resistance.

The price paid by the Sichuan Army was also extremely high. According to statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, 26.4 soldiers of the Sichuan Army were killed, 35.6 were injured, more than 2.6 were missing, and the total loss was nearly 65.

The great sacrifice of the Sichuan Army is not only related to weapons and equipment, but also to the backward training of soldiers; at the same time, it is also related to the serious confusion of the upper-level command and the lack of necessary supplies in combat.

Strictly speaking, the Sichuan Army in the Anti-Japanese War was not a regular army of the Chinese army, but a local warlord armed force.

Whether it is the equipment and military quality of the troops, or the treatment of the troops, they cannot be compared with the Kuomintang Central Army.

However, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, this unit exchanged its fearless sacrifice for the reputation of "the Sichuan army can fight" and "there is no army without Sichuan", and its casualties ranked first among all provinces.

Chapter 307

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan army organized 6 group armies and some independent troops went out to fight in Sichuan, among which the 22nd group army was one of them!
